The head of The Russian Orthodox Church: the Church has the right to give a moral assessment of the actions of politicians

Don’t drown in the media stream. Patriarch Cyril – about the evils of the modern world

The Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Kirill said that the Church has the right to give a moral assessment of the actions of politicians, reports TASS.

The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church is now on official visit in Albania. In an interview with local media, he said that religion and politics are sides of the same coin, as it is “phenomena of a completely different order.” But the Patriarch expressed his belief that “the Church has the right to give a moral assessment of certain political figures”.

In his opinion, such an approach can help to protect believers from spiritual and material harm on the part of politicians.
